Which would you prefer your PS3 Game Collection: Digital vs. Physical?

[Groo The Perverted]

I think there can be some arguments made for each one, with each having it's own pros and cons.

Myself, I prefer to have the PS3 games in digital format on the PS3. Having physical copies are all well and good, I just think that it's beneficial to have digital copies, not just because of the wear on the optical drive, but also I think it's simply more convenient.

Plus there's no chance your discs get damaged and unplayable, and if your PS3 crashes or you have to get a new one, your games are stored on the servers.

Sadly monetarily it's just not feasible, with many games that are available for 10-15 bucks in physical copy, are 20-30 dollars on the PSN, with some newer games listed at 60 bucks for a digital copy).

now the only SERIOUS con I see (which is admittedly a huge one) if one day the Sony servers get hacked or go down or permanently shut down or whatever, then those games are lost for good.

What the odds of that happening, I don't know.
